10 guests. 10 answers. 1 powerful question: “What’s a rule in your industry you don't follow or believe in?”

In this bonus episode, we revisit the answers from the last 10 guests - a mix of showrunners, startup founders, fitness experts, and creative disruptors - each offering their own raw, unfiltered take on the rules they’ve chosen to break.

From ignoring screenwriting “don’ts” to saying no to gigs that don’t align with your life to tossing out the 10,000-hour myth - this is a masterclass in risk-taking, reinvention, and rewriting the rules.
